Chapter 17 Uncle is good or bad
The business of rock sugar gourd carries Lao Chen's lofty ideals and ambitions, the big house of his wife and concubine, and the bride price of his son, and now the hope has just sprouted and is ruthlessly extinguished, which is sour, and it is really impossible to describe it in words.
It was not out of Chu Yun's expectation that such a situation would occur, on the contrary, these things were all expected by him. "I'm afraid they're not the only ones who are following suit, right?" Chu Yun asked again.
Lao Chen glanced at Chu Yun with surprise again, knowing the world without going out, he felt more and more unfathomable, nodded and said: "Since a few days ago, there have been more people selling sugar gourds on the street, originally we were able to sell all the rock sugar gourds in less than an hour, but today we have been shouting all day long, and half of them have not been sold." β
Never underestimate the ability of human beings to imitate, let alone a thing like a sugar gourd, which has no technical content, and it is not uncommon for so many people to follow the trend after seeing the business opportunities contained in it.
Chu Yun didn't plan to do the rock sugar gourd business for a lifetime, but so far, there is still a lot of profit to be dug in this piece, he looked up at Lao Chen, sighed and said: "Lao Chen, how many times have I said it, do things, you can't do it brutally, you have to use your brains, not only can you not marry a beautiful concubine, but you don't want to buy a big mansion for the rest of your life." β
Lao Chen's face suddenly turned red, and he looked around a few times, but he didn't find his mother-in-law, and said with a glare: "Whoever wants to marry a concubine, it's enough for me to have my mother-in-law!" β
Expecting Lao Chen to use his brain to find a way, it seems that it is impossible, Chu Yun beckoned to him a little helplessly, and said: "Come here~, come here~, next, you have to do thisγγγγγ And then so ... And then ... Lao Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned his ears over. After a while, Lao Chen looked at Chu Yun with a dull expression, speechless for a long time.
Looking at Chu Yun and then at himself, a question began to arise in Lao Chen's heart. is also raised by his father and mother, why is the gap between people and people so big! "I don't think my uncle is a good thing." Thinking of what Chu Yun said to himself just now, Lao Chen gave Chu Yun a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
"Fuck off~~!" Chu Yun kicked Lao Chen's ass, this thing is so chic even to praise people! In the next few days, many people in the cottage have made selling sugar gourds their main business. However, after a few days, everyone found that the business of rock sugar gourd was becoming more and more difficult day by day. There is no other reason, because the number of vendors selling sugar gourds is increasing day by day.
In the case of such fierce competition and their rock sugar gourds are not very good, the business will naturally get worse and worse, and later, they can only sell a few strings of rock sugar gourds a day.
Later, I don't know when it began, the number of vendors selling rock sugar gourds on the street suddenly decreased at an alarming rate, because they found that they could no longer buy hawthorn fruits!
When they asked the vendors who sold hawthorn fruits, they learned from them that just a few days ago, all the hawthorn fruits in the entire Sujiang Mansion City were bought at a low price, that is, in a short time, they couldn't find hawthorns to make rock sugar gourds!
This situation did not last long, and just two days later, there were suddenly a few more vendors in the city with a large number of hawthorn fruits, which naturally quickly caused everyone to scramble. Although the price of these hawthorn fruits is more than three times higher than before, there is still a certain profit to be made after making them into rock sugar gourds.
Everyone scolded in their hearts for those honest-looking men, who first stockpiled goods, and then took the opportunity to raise the price of hawthorn fruits, but they could only grit their teeth and buy them. After all, this is already the only place in the city where hawthorn is sold.
However, in this way, the competition between these people also increased, and since the first person began to lower the price in order to sell more, the price of rock sugar gourds plummeted, until when a bunch of rock sugar gourds could be bought for a penny, the profits of this industry also reached a freezing point. It was also at this time that a new type of rock sugar gourd suddenly appeared in the city, which once again triggered a rush to buy.
The raw material of this rock sugar gourd is not hawthorn, but fresh seasonal fruit, which is cut into small pieces, coated in icing and skewered, which is more delicious than the rock sugar gourd made from hawthorn. This kind of Chu's rock sugar gourd quickly opened up sales in the city of Sujiang Mansion, and some people noticed that the earliest rock sugar gourd in the city was also made by these people.
And their rock sugar gourd, in terms of taste, is better than other hawkers'. This kind of brand effect makes it difficult to pose any threat to Chu's rock sugar gourd, even if some people follow the practice of the new rock sugar gourd, and the honest and honest face seems to have become the symbol of the genuine rock sugar gourd in Sujiang Mansion.
In the middle of the night, the door of Chuyun's small courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and Lao Chen and several black men walked in with smiles on their faces. Lao Chen first dragged out a big bag from behind his back, and then said to Chu Yun: "Uncle, this is the money we have earned from selling red fruits and rock sugar gourds these days, according to what was discussed at the beginning, we divided half of it, and this is the remaining half." β
I have to say that Lao Chen and they are all a group of very honest people. Although they are the ones who work hard to sell sugar gourds on weekdays, the rock sugar gourd was invented by Chu Yun, and it was also the silver he gave at the beginning, even if he encountered various problems later, he helped solve them. It can be said that without Chu Yun, there would be no place for them today, and they all understand this.
My uncle can do these things without them, but because of the relationship between the big bosses, he gave them a lot of care, and Lao Chen and the others kept all the things in mind. At the beginning, when they heard that their uncle was going to give them half of the profits, Lao Chen and the others were shocked at first, and then they became panicked, they just made a few efforts, what qualifications did they have to take so much? However, they insisted on the idea of only taking one percent of the profits, but in the end they were rejected by Chu Yun.
In the courtyard, when the little girl Yu'er and Liu Xiangchen saw Lao Chen open the bag and reveal the copper coins inside, the expressions on their pretty faces were momentarily distracted. They knew that Lao Chen and the others were tinkering with the business of rock sugar gourds these days, and it was all Chu Yun's idea, so they were only a little curious in their hearts, but they didn't take it to heart.
The last time Lao Chen sent a small bag of copper coins to Yu'er, saying that it was the profit from selling rock sugar gourds, which looked like hundreds of copper coins, at that time, Yu'er just felt that her uncle had found a way to make money for Uncle Fang Chen, and their lives would not be so hard in the future, and she was very happy in her heart. But what they didn't expect was that they made so much money in just a few days!
If they only sell rock sugar gourds made of hawthorn as before, they will naturally not make so much money. But what Yu'er and Liu Xiangchen didn't know was that Lao Chen and the others had done more than this one thing these days.
First, he listened to Chu Yun's words and bought a large number of hawthorns, almost all the hawthorn fruits in Sujiang Mansion City, and a few days later, he sold them at several times the price, making a lot of money. Not only that, but even the hawthorn fruits that were not yet fully ripe in the back mountains were all picked by them and sold them taking advantage of this craze. Most of these copper coins in front of me are actually profits from the direct sale of hawthorn fruits.
In addition, several of them also took advantage of the fact that the price of rock sugar gourds made of hawthorn fruits dropped to the freezing point, and there was no profit left, and decisively launched a new type of fruit rock sugar gourd, which was well received, and when all the vendors did not react, they made a lot of money, of course, all this was Chu Yun's idea.
And now, although there have been a lot of imitations of the new rock sugar gourd, but because they played the Chu's rock sugar gourd brand early, they have occupied a natural advantage, and the business is still very hot, and the goods will be sold out every day. Up to now, there will be a steady stream of money coming in every day, and if this business can continue for a long time, their life will definitely get better and better.
As autumn is getting stronger, August is about to enter the middle of the month, and the first Mid-Autumn Festival that Chu Yun will spend in this world is getting closer and closer. In this world, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still one of the most important festivals in August 15 every year. The Mid-Autumn Festival, which means reunion, is a relatively sensitive day for Chu Yun, and it is easy to evoke some dusty memories in his heart. But now he knows how to hide those emotions in his heart, and he will not be easily seen.
Tomorrow is the long-awaited Mid-Autumn Festival for Yu'er, for a simple-minded girl, every festival will start to look forward to it a long time ago, after Chu Yun taught him to count, the little maid Yu'er will count the days with her fingers. Today, Lao Chen and the others did not go to the street to sell sugar gourds, and they had to take a vacation to relax on the festive festival.
In the past, when the conditions at home were poor, every festival, I could eat a meal of meat, which was considered a festival. Now I have a lot of money in my account every day, and I eat rice and meat every day, and there is no psychological pressure.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure, the situation of the family is good, and the pursuit of nature is high, when Lao Chen came back from outside yesterday, he had already bought things such as wine and meat, ready for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
Walking with Yu'er on the wide street of Sujiang Mansion City, the little maid Yu'er looked around with big curious eyes, feeling that everything she saw in her eyes was so strange, but Chu Yun was thinking about other things in her heart.
Yu'er hugged the two pieces of cloth that her uncle bought for her to make new clothes, her eyes were bent into crescents, and her little face was full of joy. In the past, how could the family have any spare money to buy cloth, and most of the clothes worn by Yu'er were worn by willow fragrance and retreated.
Liu Xiangjian's height is a little taller than Yu'er, but it's not too much, and her clothes can be worn by changing Yu'er a little. In addition to those rich families, most ordinary families are like this, one piece of clothing is worn in turns, and Chu Yun also saw that the clothes worn by Yu'er had old clothes, so he specially brought her out today.
When it was almost noon, He Yu'er casually found a roadside stall to eat something, not to mention, although the roadside food didn't look so high, but the taste was actually good, and the price was very cheap. Now it's not as good as the future generations, and you don't have to worry about gutter oil or anything at all when you eat at a roadside stall.
After eating, I walked around the street for a while and bought some things, because of the proximity of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many more people on the street than usual. I have to say that the quality of the beauties in this ancient era is really good, of course, her own little maid Yuer is also a little beauty, although she is a little younger, and her face is a little baby fat, but after a few years, she must be a beauty embryo. As soon as Chu Yun was happy, he took advantage of the situation to pull up Yu'er's tender hand, Yu'er was shocked, her face turned red, and she said to Chu Yun shyly, "Uncle is so bad~~!" βγ
